Southern welcomes students year-round to study as a visiting/non-degree seeking student.

If you require assistance with course prerequisites, permissions, or have questions about degree requirements, please contact advisement@southernct.edu.
To get started, please complete the Visiting Student Application, there is no application fee. You will receive a response within approximately 1 week.
STOP: If you have been accepted to Southern before, or previously taken classes here, you do not need to complete this application to return as a visiting student. Contact the Registrar's Office to reactivate your account for registration.
Non-matriculated students may register for courses on a part-time basis only, are subject to the policies of the university, but are not eligible for financial aid or on-campus housing. All students must meet any course requirements to register, but departments also have the right to exclude or restrict non-matriculated student registration for courses in their program.
If you have not yet completed a bachelor’s degree or higher, as indicated on your application, you may take undergraduate courses on a part-time basis (less than 12 credits). All courses will be applied to your undergraduate transcript. Prior to attempting 30 credits, you must apply to a degree or certificate program (i.e. matriculate) through the Admissions Office to continue either on a part-time or full-time basis.
If you have previously completed a bachelor’s degree or higher, as indicated on your application, you may take either undergraduate or graduate level courses on a part-time basis (less than 9 credits). All courses will be applied to your graduate transcript. A maximum of 9 credits taken as a non-matriculated student may be applied to a graduate program. You may apply to a degree or certificate program (i.e. matriculate) through the Graduate Admissions Office to continue either on a part-time or full-time basis.
